STUDENT ARTWORKS - TERM 2, Stage 2/3 Combination - History - Sydney Parkinson: A Plant and Animal Explorer

I am so happy with these wonderful artworks. It is shame the pics don't show you just how gooood they are. Outstanding work from students who are only 8 and 9 years old.
The class loved making their prints and learning about printmaking.

I added 5 more STEPS - 
Step: After the print is detailed and colour is added, trim around the edge of the black outline border leaving about .5cms of white. This little white border adds to the overall effect.  It defines the print. Without it, the artworks appears lacking in something.
Step: Glue the print to an A4 piece of coloured cardboard. It is important to select a colour that compliments the colours used in the print.
Step: Now, select an A3 cardboard making sure the colour of this cardboard compliments the A4 colour and the colours in the print. Centralised.
Step: Glue the A4 artwork onto the A3 cardboard. Centralised.
Step Using a lead pencil, draw the leaves, flowers, etc that are in the print onto the A3 cardboard. Make sure the drawing does not overlap onto the A4 cardboard. By drawing onto the A3 cardboard, a frame is created. Crowd and overlap the leaves, flowers, etc.

 NOTE: To add interest to the drawn border, press hard and light with the lead pencil to create tonal variations. Shading may be included but we decided as a class not to add shading in case it overpowered the print. We didn't use a black marker either for the same reason.

   The first group of artworks show the print with the added details using fine tip black pens with shaded watercolour pencil work. I will add more examples as students complete their artworks. I hope you like them...….I love them!!!!!!!

TEACHING RESOURCE - CLAY WORK BOOKLET - BASIC INFORMATION

Image
   I put together a booklet for the staff of the primary school I work in. They were wanting to learn about clay and some ideas of what they could do with their students.    Following are pages from the booklet in jpeg format. Feel free to use it or any part of it. I collected information and ideas from Pinterest and there is no intention of claiming any of the ideas or sculpture works as my own. Full credit goes to those talented and creative people who created them, including Kimmy Cantrell .  I have included my own clay work relief sculpture plate at the end......               I will be adding more ideas to this booklet as I come across them....

Blind Contour Drawing - Portraiture

Image
   Before you start this artwork, I would suggest you talk to students about the difference between various drawing techniques. I got the idea from Pinterest but modified it to suit my needs.    There are two artworks that can be done. One uses coloured highlighters with black markers, the other uses watercolour paper, watercolour pencils, black markers, metallic markers and oil crayons. Resource Images: I made up a simple laminated worksheet that has four pics of people that the students can use to make their blind contour drawings with.   ARTWORK 1: 1. Using the Resource Images and a lead pencil,  students are to make 3 or 4 blind contour drawings on  A3 drawing paper. 2. Students then trace over ALL LINES with a black marker. They are not to erase any lines. 3. With coloured highlighters, colour in sections within in the artwork. 4. Add in patterns with the highlighters.    Detail of the artwork.....    ARTWORK 2: 1 . Students are issued wi

STUDENT ARTWORKS - NEW CUBISM with Kindergarten/Year 1 Composite Class

Image
I first posted this artwork back on 21st October, 2008 so it was time to drag it back out again. It is such an easy artwork to do with any age students as Cubism allows students to create images that don't rely on any true elements of realism and proportion. If their artwork looks weird that's great. This is the latest collection of artworks from a Ms Parkinson's Kindy/Year 1 composite class at Windsor Public School (NSW, Australia). We had a great time creating these images and the students enjoyed using watercolour pencils and posca pens.  The white posca pen outlining was done by myself and some Year 6 helpers. I did add teeth and highlights in the eyes if the student asked me.
